Hotwav's new Hyper 8 Ultra phone is built for the outdoors and includes walkie-talkie and night vision features.

These days, phones typically come in two forms: sleek, fashionable flagships for everyday use and "rugged phones" with reinforced exteriors designed for more demanding environments.

However, the Hotwav Hyper 8 Ultra is a unique "survivor-class" phone that combines communication features for off-grid use with durable construction for challenging conditions.

Here's a look at what the Hotwav Hyper 8 Ultra offers:

Integrated Hiking Tools

Walkie-talkie: The Hyper 8 Ultra has a built-in professional walkie-talkie that supports both analog and digital transmission using UHF and VHF frequencies via a radio antenna. It has a tested range of up to 20 km in open areas, maintaining team communication where cell service is unavailable.

Loudspeaker: Its 125 dB loudspeaker ensures audibility, with siren sounds capable of cutting through engine and machinery noise. It also allows for clear voice communication and music playback.

Night Vision: An infrared night vision camera assists in low-light situations, such as nighttime machinery repairs, cave exploration, or unexpected darkness during outdoor activities.

Camping Light: A matrix camping light offers more extensive illumination than a typical LED flashlight, suitable for campsites, workstations, or emergency scenes.

Large Battery: The 12,000 mAh battery provides extended power for prolonged use and supports reverse charging to share power with other devices.
